Did we ever figure out how to deal with the "can't <do anything> with
this script while it is executing" problem?
I've had to force-quit the IDE several times over the last few days due
to a script error. My own errors, but this halt-and-catch-fire mode
prevents me from correcting them without killing and resurrecting LC.
Fortunately I've gotten into the habit of saving every time I edit
anything, so I haven't lost any code, but I'm annoyed that the system is
so unstable that I have to do that.
The traditional xTalk solution for this is Cmd-./Ctrl-,. which safely
exits to top with a notification the the script was aborted.
It worked that way in HC, SC, and IIRC every other xTalk I've used, even
in the middle of a loop calling "answer".
This escape is partially implemented in LiveCode, but there are cases
(like calling "answer" in a loop) where it isn't yet.
It would be a VERY useful addition to this xTalk dialect to have feature
completion on this.
I'm guessing there's something about the LC engine that makes this
harder to do than in any other xTalk. I don't know what that challenge is.
